The Waynesburg University Players will present An Evening of Original One-Act Plays Wednesday, April 11, at 8 p.m. in the Goodwin Performing Arts Center. Admission is free, and the public is cordially invited to attend.
Three one-act plays will be performed. Each play will be written and directed by a student. This semester, the students presenting plays include sophomore sociology and pre-law major Tre’ Thomas, junior English literature major Rachael Crosbie and senior English creative writing major Shawn White.
According to Edward Powers, professor of theater, the plays’ themes revolve around a mother-daughter relationship, a husband dealing with depression and a family coping with the loss of a son. For Powers, the most exciting aspect of the evening will be seeing students express themselves.
“Students and community are encouraged to attend because these student writer-directors are expressing their own creativity,” said Powers. “These are new plays and every playwright wants to hear his or her words come alive.”
For more information about the original one-act plays, contact Powers at 724-852-3226 or epowers@waynesburg.edu.
